Most Unusual Foods You've Eaten

[AlexSpartan]

Yeah, Greg, I don't think I'll ever eat balls if I don't have to...

Tongue isn't bad, though. Heart is tasty, as well.

?Meat on stick?-Roadside stand outside of Comayagua, Honduras (still don't know what it was)
fish head soup-Colon, Panama
Escargot
Gator
Rattlesnake
Shark
Octopus
The worms out of the bottom of a bottle of Dos Gusanos Mezcal
And I'd be willing to bet, a possum or groundhog or two at some Tennessee BBQ's I've been to?

[McTavish]

Shark & Gator were common when I lived in FL, Moose is good and sorta rare to get here, Buffalo is good.
Had Monkey once.

Whatever the hell my first wife made. It must have resembled the primordial ooze a few billion years ago.

- unmentionable fermented Japanese and Chinese foods

Fermenting foods is very every day in Asian cultures. Along with the 1000 year eggs, "fu yu" (cantonese) is pretty common. Fu yu is a form of fermented tofu, different from the stinky tofu from Taiwan.

I'd like to feed this to a liberal vegan for dinner... "Hmm I don't have anything vegan... oh wait I do have some tofu..."

Eat it with white rice, it's pretty awesome. Or throw it in a pan with some boiled leafy greens... mmm. And accompany it with some salted fish/duck eggs and bam you got yourself a meal! Talk about eating on a budget!

ETA: bae you got my stomach grumbling at 2 in the morning. Blood sausage... head cheese... cracklin?!?! Definitely sounds creole to me too!

hog balls, sheep balls, cow tongue, squirrel, possum, raccoon, skunk, crawl fish, frog legs, snapping turtle, gator

Most of these qualify as hillbilly more than Bon Vivant tho

Possum... man you hillbillys are crazy! Next you're going to tell me that you eat raccoon!!

[Dorkface]

The only things I can think of are Rattle snake and then all sorts of game meats. While game meats might not be that unusual it is oddly enough to most people who only know beef, chicken and pork. I wasn't brave enough to try the Haggis when I was in Scotland rofl....

[ReconScout]

Assortment of grubs and crickets,
But the most unusual meal was Cobra.
Most disgusting was definitely Lutefisk

[Gabriel Suarez]

Slivovitza!! That was it.
